Jumping pillow - an activity for all ages

Last weekend 17th to 19th September, DAC goers from all services met at Lake Tabourie for a weekend getaway.  86 adults and 74 children were involved and kids (of all ages) had lots of fun on the Jumping Pillow as well as fishing, swimming, mini golf, tennis etc. The weather was great the majority of the weekend (for those staying in cabins); campers had a few more challenges, with some brisk winds to deal with.

Over 150 of us at Lake Tabourie

The weekend provided a valuable opportunity to relax and spend time with each other while being able to reflect on the significance of Romans 5.  We were very lucky that Ben Boardman, Assistant Minister from Engadine Anglican Church (and former DAC goer) accepted the offer to lead ministry sessions on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Ben was warm and engaging with his message, though firm in reinforcing the importance of Justification, Grace and Hope. Paula and Jason McPhail provided reflections on their recent experience which also helped to reinforce Ben’s message.

Congratulations to “Big Red Frog” – winners of the Team Trivia Challenge held on Saturday Night, and thanks again to Kathy Quick who planned this fun event. The DAC Member Trivia Category proved to be truly insightful!

Thanks also to all others involved in supporting activities for the weekend. Overall a very positive experience was had by all and there are lots of people looking forward to the next one!

If you have any suggestions or feedback for next time, do see one of the committee.
